The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1668 - He Murdered A Child. Now He’s Walking Free. This Case Should Be A Wake Up Call For The Country.

00:00:00.000 Today, the Matt Wall Show, a monstrous killer murdered a child a few years ago. He's currently a free man walking the streets. How is that possible?

00:00:06.980 Well, this case is not only shocking, it should be a wake-up call for the country. We'll talk about it.

00:00:10.760 Also, a federal judge tells Trump that he's not allowed to deploy troops to Portland. Is it time for Trump to finally defy these activist judges and let the chips fall?

00:00:19.000 Also, the Democrat attorney general candidate in Virginia detailed his violent fantasies in writing, fantasizing about murdering his political opponents and watching their children die.

00:00:27.740 But has this revelation caused a single Democrat anywhere in the country to call for him to drop out? Of course not.

00:00:32.980 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:57.740 Our society works because of the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.

00:01:57.160 Today we're going to talk about a case that is, without resorting to hyperbole, the worst miscarriage of justice that I've ever heard about in my life.

00:02:06.400 You know, we've spent a lot of time on the epidemic of soft-on-crime policies in this country.

00:02:11.040 We've talked about how woke DAs and judges, and in some cases juries, have conspired to release the most violent and dangerous criminals back out onto the streets.

00:02:19.520 And today we have what I think is the worst example of this trend, which is saying a lot because there have been some really bad ones.

00:02:27.380 This one's so bad that if you haven't heard about the case already, you're going to find it very hard to believe.

00:02:31.720 You're going to want to Google it and check my facts, which you should.

00:02:35.720 And after you do, you'll see that not only is this case as bad as I say, but the more you look into it, the worse it gets.

00:02:43.660 We'll get into all the horrific details, but here's the headline.

00:02:46.560 A man who broke into a home and stabbed a six-year-old child to death is currently out of prison, walking the streets as a free man.

00:02:56.060 He spent less than 10 years in prison for this crime, for the intentional, brutal, savage killing of a six-year-old child.

00:03:03.800 Less than 10 years.

00:03:06.000 Now let's back up.

00:03:07.020 You know, it's long been understood, even in the most depraved cultures, that violence against children is the single worst crime that a man can commit.

00:03:16.380 There's a reason why pedophiles don't last very long in prison.

00:03:19.480 They're at the very bottom of the moral totem pole.

00:03:22.960 And everyone, even hardened felons and gangbangers, understand exactly why.

00:03:27.940 It's the same reason why when liberals defend abortion, they do so by denying the humanity of the child they're killing.

00:03:34.120 They know that it's a fallacious argument, they know they're taking a human life, but they recognize at some level how horrifying and unjustifiable those killings are.

00:03:42.000 They don't want to admit publicly that they're murdering children.

00:03:45.700 So rather than confront the fact that they're justifying the slaughter of innocents, they pretend that it's not happening.

00:03:52.020 A moral rot this profound cannot be obscured by sleights of hand or non-arguments for very long.

00:03:58.560 Sooner rather than later, any society that tolerates the murder of children in one context will inevitably tolerate it in others.

00:04:08.300 And as leftist prosecutors and government officials have made it their mission to unleash as many felons as possible on American citizens,

00:04:16.180 it was only a matter of time before they go out of their way to free a murderer who deliberately and with premeditation executed a child long after his birth.

00:04:26.140 We've been headed towards a moment like this for many years, a moment when literal child murder is punished less severely than many white-collar crimes are.

00:04:36.340 And earlier this month in Kentucky, that moment arrived.

00:04:40.700 On October 1st, a convicted child killer named 42-year-old Ronald Exantis walked out of prison.

00:04:47.920 He's a free man, even though less than 10 years ago, he brutally murdered a young child as he slept.

00:04:55.820 In the middle of the night on December 7th of 2015, Ronald Exantis drove from Indiana to Versailles, Kentucky.

00:05:04.080 And he pulled onto Gray Street, he says, because it reminded him of the show Gray's Anatomy.

00:05:09.620 And then he spotted the home of the Tipton family, which attracted him because, he says, it had Christmas lights on.

00:05:16.900 He entered the home using an unlocked door.

00:05:20.480 Keep in mind, this is a family that he'd never met before in his life.

00:05:24.560 This is a town he'd never been to in his life.

00:05:27.400 He just happened to be driving through.

00:05:29.820 Inside the home were five children and their father, Dean.

00:05:33.340 Their mother, Heather, was working late.

00:05:35.160 Shortly before 4 a.m., Exantis walked upstairs, where all the children were sleeping,

00:05:40.980 and he proceeded to stab six-year-old Logan Tipton eight times in the back of the head with a butcher knife.

00:05:47.720 And he used such force that the blade bent out of shape as he was stabbing the child.

00:05:53.040 As Logan bled to death, his 11-year-old sister yelled at Exantis to stop and began kicking him very bravely,

00:06:00.600 trying to defend her brother.

00:06:02.220 Exantis attacked her next and stabbed her in the face. 0.54

00:06:07.600 He also stabbed another seven-year-old child in the home.

00:06:10.460 And soon afterwards, the father, Dean, confronted Exantis at the top of the stairs, 0.91

00:06:14.180 and they got into a struggle, a struggle that left him severely injured.

00:06:18.640 But Dean was able to overcome the man, and he held him down until police arrived.

00:06:23.300 Now, in the country that our founders created,

00:06:29.060 for this crime, Exantis would have been tried, convicted, and publicly hanged,

00:06:33.540 and the whole process would have taken like 24 hours.

00:06:37.580 And there's no reason why it should take longer than that.

00:06:39.460 There's no question about his guilt.

00:06:41.560 He never even left the scene of the crime.

00:06:43.680 So his guilt is 100% certain.

00:06:46.400 What is also nearly certain is that he will commit more violent crimes if given the opportunity.

00:06:53.520 But even if we could have some kind of assurance that he wouldn't do it again, it doesn't matter.

00:06:59.140 Once you slaughter a child, your life is forfeit.

00:07:02.000 A functioning country cannot tolerate any other outcome. 0.69

00:07:05.540 You lose your moral right to continue breathing after you stab a six-year-old child in the head.

00:07:12.980 Of all the statements I've ever made on this show, that should be the least controversial.

00:07:18.960 And indeed, in this case, prosecutors did seek the death penalty.

00:07:23.300 But they didn't get the death penalty.

00:07:25.380 They didn't even get a lengthy jail sentence.

00:07:27.460 In the end, Ronald Exantis would have gotten a lengthier sentence and a harsher penalty

00:07:32.140 if he'd committed, like, mail fraud.

00:07:36.280 In fact, Exantis wasn't even held criminally liable at all for killing the child, for killing Logan.

00:07:45.380 Instead, the jury convicted him of assault.

00:07:50.180 Killed a child, he was convicted of assault.

00:07:54.100 Watch.

00:07:55.520 This afternoon with developing news from Woodford County.

00:07:58.580 One man sentenced for killing a six-year-old boy and gravely injuring his family nearly 10 years ago

00:08:04.840 has just been released from prison.

00:08:07.420 That's our Top Story at 4.

00:08:09.120 I'm Conroy Deluche.

00:08:10.640 Back in 2018, Ronald Exantis was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity

00:08:16.120 and guilty but mentally ill on assault charges.

00:08:20.860 Investigators say Exantis broke into a Versailles home in December 2015

00:08:25.420 and killed six-year-old Logan Tipton.

00:08:28.600 Detectives found it was a random killing.

00:08:31.280 Exantis had driven from Indianapolis and broke into the Tipton home while the family was sleeping.

00:08:36.680 He also attacked Tipton's father and siblings, and they survived.

00:08:41.580 WHAS 11 was there in 2015 when hundreds honored Logan's life at the community stadium in Versailles.

00:08:48.520 Now, according to court records, Exantis was released yesterday

00:08:51.860 after serving less than seven years of his 20-year sentence.

00:08:55.900 So to recap the jury's verdict.

00:08:58.220 They found Exantis not guilty by reason of insanity for the first-degree murder of Logan

00:09:03.740 and not guilty by reason of insanity for first-degree burglary.

00:09:07.940 At the same time, they found Exantis guilty but mentally ill of the second-degree assaults of two children in the home,

00:09:16.600 not including Logan, and guilty but mentally ill of the fourth-degree assault of Dean, the father.

00:09:23.060 So just to be clear about the terms here, because they're obviously confusing,

00:09:25.900 in Kentucky, if you're not guilty by reason of insanity,

00:09:28.320 then you can be released, just released, back into the public after some time in the hospital.

00:09:33.940 It basically means you won't suffer any criminal penalties at all.

00:09:38.400 But if you're guilty but mentally ill, you get sentenced in the same way as any other defendant, 0.80

00:09:42.860 except that you also get therapy or whatever in prison.

00:09:45.860 So basically, for all intents and purposes, Ronald Exantis was found not guilty by reason of insanity

00:09:49.680 on the murder charge, but guilty on the assault charge.

00:09:52.840 So that's what happened.

00:09:53.340 Now, right away, this should raise a lot of questions in your mind.

00:10:00.300 If Exantis was too insane to be held liable for breaking into the house and committing murder,

00:10:05.520 then how could he be sane enough to assault three people? 0.53

00:10:10.900 And the other way around, if he was sane enough to assault the people,

00:10:14.100 then how was he not sane when he broke into the house and killed the child?

00:10:17.840 The assaults happened within seconds of the burglary and the murder.

00:10:20.800 It's not like someone can be insane one second and then perfectly sane the next.

00:10:26.440 And certainly no evidence in this case suggests otherwise.

00:10:29.680 So how exactly does this verdict make any sense?

00:10:33.280 How could it be allowed?

00:10:35.740 They're claiming that Exantis was both insane and not insane

00:10:39.320 during the course of committing the same crime.

00:10:43.280 He was liable and not liable at the same time for the same thing.

00:10:49.040 How is that possible?

00:10:50.800 How is it possible that through the course of committing one, like this is really one crime,

00:10:55.360 it's the course of breaking in, going into the house, killing the child, assaulting,

00:10:59.560 this is all one big criminal act.

00:11:03.060 How could he be sane for some of that stuff, but insane for the other stuff?

00:11:09.720 How does it make any sense at all?

00:11:11.560 Now, the answer is that it doesn't make any sense.

00:11:14.760 When the Supreme Court of Kentucky took a look at this case on appeal, they admitted as much.

00:11:19.400 This court strongly suspects that the verdicts in this case were reached

00:11:22.780 because the jury could not reach either of the all or nothing verdicts advocated for by the parties.

00:11:29.340 The defense urged the jury to find Exantis not guilty by reason of insanity on all counts,

00:11:33.300 while the Commonwealth argued that the jury had to find him guilty on all counts.

00:11:37.040 Neither party directly advocated for a verdict of guilty but mentally ill on any count.

00:11:41.360 It is therefore possible that the jury reached its verdict through compromise.

00:11:46.920 Now, despite this finding, which is obvious, the Supreme Court upheld the verdicts.

00:11:52.240 And their reasoning was that, yeah, the jury wasn't following the law. 1.00

00:11:56.340 They're either morons or they were compromising with each other, which makes them still morons. 1.00

00:12:02.020 But either way, they didn't do what they were supposed to do. 1.00

00:12:05.520 And the verdict, like, it's just not, it cannot be legitimate.

00:12:08.440 It doesn't make any sense.

00:12:09.440 Nevertheless, according to the Supreme Court, we have no way of knowing whether the jury's screw-up

00:12:16.700 helped the defendant or hurt the defendant.

00:12:18.500 Maybe if there had been no compromise, the defendant would have been guilty on all counts.

00:12:21.800 Maybe he would have been acquitted on all counts.

00:12:23.660 There's no way to tell.

00:12:24.680 Therefore, the court decides to just stay out of it.

00:12:28.120 Instead of doing what they should have done, which is obviously order a new trial in that case.

00:12:31.480 If you're looking at the Supreme Court and you're saying,

00:12:33.520 well, this verdict doesn't make any sense at all.

00:12:35.280 It can't possibly be right.

00:12:36.560 The jury obviously wasn't doing what they're supposed to be doing.

00:12:40.320 This is not legitimate.

00:12:41.740 So we need a new trial.

00:12:42.800 The word farce is far too generous for what happened here.

00:12:50.160 And imagine being a family of this murdered child and reading this.

00:12:54.940 I mean, the highest court in the state of Kentucky is admitting that the jury completely failed to do its job.

00:12:59.760 And as a result, the man who killed your child isn't going to suffer any kind of criminal penalty whatsoever for the actual murder.

00:13:06.880 He'll go down for assault, and that's it.

00:13:10.640 This is what passes for justice in our court system at the moment.

00:13:15.000 Now, to be clear, there was more than enough evidence to find Exantus guilty on all counts.

00:13:20.640 And, you know, this isn't the most important point, because even if he were mentally insane,

00:13:25.700 it still would not justify releasing him from prison.

00:13:29.260 And as I've argued many times, mental insanity should, if anything, be an aggravating factor, not a mitigating factor. 0.80

00:13:38.140 If it's actually true that this guy is too insane to understand that he shouldn't stab six-year-olds in the head, 0.75

00:13:44.440 that's all the more reason to remove him from human society permanently and immediately.

00:13:49.980 But as it happens, the claim is not true.

00:13:55.720 So let's go through this.

00:13:57.420 It is true that before he drove to Kentucky, his ex-fiancee, Lauren Burgess, testified that he was acting erratically.

00:14:03.900 And shortly before the murders, he had proposed to Burgess out of the blue.

00:14:07.520 He also began crying hysterically and rambling at some point, according to her testimony.

00:14:11.540 At the same time, she said that he showed no unusual behavior when they went to a jewelry store to shop for an engagement ring later that day.

00:14:18.020 And then he drove to Kentucky.

00:14:20.620 At that point, the Supreme Court of Kentucky states, in its opinion,

00:14:23.920 Exantus began demonstrating several signs that he was lucid.

00:14:27.500 Quote, while Dean and Exantus were fighting, Dean told Exantus he was going to kill him,

00:14:31.860 and Exantus begged him not to kill him.

00:14:34.040 Officer Cottingham also testified that Officer Jonathan Guiler began doing first aid on Logan before the paramedics arrived.

00:14:41.120 Officer Cottingham heard Exantus ask if Officer Guiler was doing chest compressions

00:14:45.160 and also heard Exantus say he's not doing the right number, he should be doing 30 compressions.

00:14:49.480 All the officers that responded to the scene testified to hearing Exantus say he was sorry several times.

00:14:56.060 The Supreme Court's decision continues.

00:14:57.860 Less than an hour after Exantus was arrested, he was interviewed by Detective Keith Ford and Officer Guiler.

00:15:02.560 Detective Ford testified that Exantus did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the interview

00:15:07.120 and was lucid and candid when answering questions.

00:15:09.660 Exantus accurately told the officers information such as his name, date of birth, social security number,

00:15:13.560 home address, phone number, occupation, gave them an accurate description of his vehicle and where he left it.

00:15:19.720 Exantus knew that he was in Versailles, Kentucky and that he originally intended to drive to Florida

00:15:23.420 to see family members that live there.

00:15:25.460 He told the officers he entered the home through an unlocked door

00:15:27.860 and his description of the home was consistent with the photographic evidence.

00:15:30.740 Exantus told the officers he walked to the kitchen and got a knife.

00:15:34.060 He knew that he stabbed a child in the head with a knife and that he killed that child.

00:15:37.680 Exantus also knew that the father of the child put him in a chokehold

00:15:40.420 and he understood why the father was angry with him.

00:15:43.880 Finally, when Detective Ford asked Exantus what his fiancée would think about what he did,

00:15:48.440 he replied, quote, she's not going to like it, sir.

00:15:52.760 So all that just proves that he was lucid.

00:15:54.800 He knew where he was.

00:15:55.480 He knew what he was doing.

00:15:56.180 He knew what he was doing was wrong.

00:15:58.140 Ended discussion.

00:15:59.060 That's all you should need to know.

00:16:00.880 Even though, again, it doesn't even matter.

00:16:04.000 Like, I don't care if he thought he was on Mars while this was happening.

00:16:06.440 I don't care if he thought he was the Queen of England.

00:16:07.780 It doesn't matter what he thought about himself or where he was.

00:16:10.420 What matters is what he did.

00:16:12.980 And that should exclude you from continuing to live.

00:16:18.880 Okay, that's one of those things.

00:16:19.900 It just excludes you from being allowed to continue living as a human being.

00:16:25.440 Okay, when you do something like that, that's the way it should be.

00:16:29.560 Additionally, during his interrogation, 0.98

00:16:31.040 Exantus states that he should be put to death by firing squad, 1.00

00:16:35.460 if not the electric chair, for killing a child. 1.00

00:16:37.800 Watch. 1.00

00:16:38.040 Okay, then the father saw what you were doing?

00:16:41.260 Correct.

00:16:41.900 And got angry?

00:16:42.660 Yes, sir.

00:16:43.140 Do you understand why?

00:16:44.120 Yes, sir.

00:16:44.800 Okay.

00:16:45.100 What do you think you're hiding with somebody that's got the child in the head?

00:16:47.840 They should go to jail.

00:16:49.400 Okay.

00:16:50.820 What about the child back?

00:16:55.200 They should get the chair or not the chair. 0.92

00:16:57.880 They should get something that doesn't get a shot.

00:16:59.860 Not a shot. 0.93

00:17:00.900 They should get punished.

00:17:03.480 Okay.

00:17:03.940 Well, I want to tell you something.

00:17:05.780 The child in the sky tonight is dead.

00:17:13.620 Are you going to say that you killed the child tonight?

00:17:15.740 Yes.

00:17:15.900 A five-year-old boy?

00:17:17.700 Yes, sir.

00:17:21.160 Anything you want to say about that?

00:17:22.420 What are you thinking right now?

00:17:29.920 Pain.

00:17:31.040 You're thinking the same?

00:17:33.040 Or are you feeling the same?

00:17:34.460 Right.

00:17:35.060 You killed the same?

00:17:36.880 Sadness.

00:17:37.640 Anything you want to say here right before you go to jail?

00:17:43.660 Or are you going to go to jail?

00:17:46.540 No, sir.

00:17:47.420 No?

00:17:48.360 Okay. 0.97

00:17:48.760 So we have the killer himself telling us, within hours of the murder, that he should be put to death.

00:17:57.800 He can obviously distinguish between right and wrong.

00:18:01.100 He's not acting insane in the sense that he doesn't appear to be, like, delusional. 0.75

00:18:08.000 And yet the jury decided that he was just too insane to suffer any consequence whatsoever for killing a child.

00:18:15.440 At trial, prosecutors presented evidence that Exantus may have been high on synthetic cannabis, which he was known to use all the time.

00:18:23.160 This is from the Lexington Herald leader's coverage of the trial.

00:18:25.600 Quote,

00:18:25.720 On the fifth day of testimony in the Exantus trial, Dr. Kenneth Benedict, who was hired by the defense, could not specify what type of illness Exantus has, but he said it could be schizophrenia.

00:18:35.860 During questioning by a public defender, Kim Green, Benedict acknowledged that substance-induced psychotic disorder needs to be considered as a possibility.

00:18:43.520 In his cross-examination, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Lee Greenup noted that the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center reported the psychosis was most likely substance-induced.

00:18:53.180 So to restate, the drug tests weren't able to conclusively determine, one way or another, whether this habitual drug user had caused his own psychosis by taking synthetic drugs, but the psychiatric center, which assessed Exantus on two occasions, said that it probably was.

00:19:09.920 Now, when the parole board in Kentucky reviewed this case a few weeks ago, they had all this information.

00:19:15.660 They knew that Exantus was taking drugs.

00:19:19.720 They knew that, according to the state's experts, those drugs contributed to this murder.

00:19:24.040 They knew that no one could possibly ensure the safety of the public if he was released from prison.

00:19:29.600 And most importantly, they knew that Exantus murdered a child in cold blood.

00:19:34.120 But then the parole board made the decision to let him out of jail anyway.

00:19:41.120 They released him early from a sentence that was already way, way, way too short, because it should be a permanent sentence of death, or at least life in prison.

00:19:50.920 And they came along and said, you know what, that's even, that's still too much.

00:19:55.700 We're going to let him out of jail now.

00:19:57.060 Why? Because he exhibited good behavior.

00:20:02.900 Now, I would think that stabbing a child in the head is the kind of bad behavior that would, at an absolute minimum, keep you locked in prison until you die.

00:20:10.840 But instead, because he managed to sit like a good boy in his jail cell without getting into too many fights or whatever,

00:20:18.140 they're going to reward him by releasing him from prison.

00:20:22.020 And he's out of prison right now, as we speak.

00:20:25.320 Free man.

00:20:26.000 Here are the members of Kentucky's parole board who made that decision.

00:20:29.640 Their names are LaDedra Jones, Lee Wiggins, Chris Deglow, Chrissy Coe-Fields, Cindy Hedleston, Sean Helbig, Michael James, Sherry Latham, and Gregory Leist.

00:20:44.820 Every single one of these people, to the extent that they had a role in this decision, should be removed from office immediately in an unjust society that would also be held personally, legally, and financially liable for whatever crimes Exantus goes on to commit.

00:20:58.820 And he almost certainly will commit more crimes if he hasn't already.

00:21:01.760 But at the very least, they should be fired.

00:21:05.480 And the governor of Kentucky has that authority, but because he's a Democrat, he obviously won't do that because Democrats are the party of murder, including child murder, especially child murder.

00:21:16.580 This is an untenable and intolerable state of affairs.

00:21:19.380 If the court system will not penalize child murder, then other people will.

00:21:25.500 Now, that's not the ideal way to go about these things, obviously.

00:21:29.920 You'd rather have the justice system be the one that administers justice, but if they won't do it, eventually their role is going to be filled in other ways.

00:21:42.320 That's just an inevitable reality.

00:21:44.520 I'm not saying I want it to happen.

00:21:45.700 I'm not saying it's true, but that's just a reality.

00:21:49.140 And the slain boy's father has made that point as clearly as he possibly can.

00:21:53.880 He's vowed to kill Exantus the moment he sees him. 0.84

00:21:57.020 Watch.

00:21:57.220 He stood up with me on top of him, just stood up and threw me 10, 15 feet across the room and went after her. 0.99

00:22:05.200 Dean Tipton says December 7th, 2015, is a night that changed his life.

00:22:10.300 He says his children woke him up.

00:22:12.180 He then found a man attacking his children.

00:22:14.720 And when I got to the top of the stairs, he attacked me.

00:22:17.480 He come at me with a knife.

00:22:19.860 The night took a tragic turn with the loss of a life, his six-year-old son, Logan.

00:22:24.400 Dean says immediately after Logan's death, he lost his will to live.

00:22:29.240 I laid in bed.

00:22:31.120 I gave up.

00:22:32.820 I gave up on life.

00:22:34.940 I gave up on my family.

00:22:37.440 I gave up on everybody.

00:22:39.240 I just wanted to die.

00:22:40.100 In the years since, the family has done their best to cope, but mentions they are mentally and emotionally scarred.

00:22:47.580 And they are hurt that Ronald Exantus will no longer be behind bars.

00:22:51.880 Everybody deserves a fighting chance to have justice for them, and it's not.

00:22:58.080 I've had my talks with God because I'm not afraid to tell you all. 0.98

00:23:04.560 I told the court, if I ever cross paths with him, I will kill the man. 1.00

00:23:07.860 I will kill him where he stands. 1.00

00:23:10.080 Now, I'd like to say that if this father carries out the threat that he just made, 0.99

00:23:16.680 I'd like to say that there's not a jury in the country that would ever convict him of anything.

00:23:26.480 I'd like to say that he'd be guaranteed to walk free.

00:23:30.800 But that's not the case, sadly.

00:23:32.380 In fact, the likely outcome, and this is how bad things are now, and we all know this,

00:23:41.260 is that this father would spend more time in prison for killing the man who killed his son

00:23:47.940 than the man who killed his son spent for killing his son.

00:23:54.380 That's where we are now.

00:23:56.780 Meanwhile, the government of Kentucky has gone out of its way to alienate this man and his family.

00:24:00.340 The boy's mother, Heather, told the local media that no one even alerted them that her son's killer is now free.

00:24:05.400 Quote, nobody from the state has contacted us to ask us if we thought about needing security,

00:24:09.980 extra protection, anything like that.

00:24:11.620 If you're a victim and there's something like a violent criminal that's going to be released

00:24:14.780 that is in connection to you or your case,

00:24:17.780 I think you should be offered some sort of security or protection, or at least just a phone call.

00:24:23.540 Yeah, I would agree with that.

00:24:25.140 A phone call, an alert, security.

00:24:30.840 How about a groveling apology from everyone in a position of authority in the Kentucky government?

00:24:36.560 They should be knocking on this family's door, offering them anything they need, apologizing profusely,

00:24:42.640 so they should be doing.

00:24:45.320 And instead, they've just said nothing at all.

00:24:47.060 They waited for this family to find out about it on the news.

00:24:52.700 In Kentucky and many other states run by Democrats,

00:24:56.020 you know, this is just the way things work now.

00:24:58.520 Protection for law-abiding citizens doesn't interest the people in charge.

00:25:01.620 They're focused entirely on freeing as many criminals as possible, including child killers.

00:25:05.680 They will terrorize the public as a matter of policy

00:25:08.780 until the moment the public decides to fight back.

00:25:12.200 And I'm not calling for that or encouraging it.

00:25:15.220 I'm just telling you what will happen.

00:25:18.540 What is inevitable.

00:25:20.760 Any state that allows a six-year-old boy to be slaughtered in his own bed

00:25:24.720 without imposing any significant consequences on the killer for that crime

00:25:29.360 has embraced lawlessness.

00:25:32.600 The justice system exists, again, to administer justice.

00:25:38.880 Justice is a need.

00:25:40.100 It's one of the deepest, most profound needs that we have as human beings

00:25:43.740 and as a civilized society.

00:25:47.200 And when a society is deprived of that need,

00:25:50.660 when the system itself will not provide that need for justice,

00:25:55.800 the public will inevitably find other ways to get it.

00:25:59.360 That's the way things have always worked.

00:26:04.260 It's not a good thing.

00:26:05.480 It's not what you want.

00:26:06.240 Again, this is definitely not what you want.

00:26:07.260 You want the system to do this.

00:26:10.100 But this is just a fundamental fact of human nature.

00:26:14.940 Now, the White House seems to realize what's at stake here.

00:26:17.240 When I drew attention to this case on Twitter,

00:26:19.000 the White House Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt, replied to me,

00:26:23.020 quote, I can confirm the White House is looking into this.

00:26:25.920 It's wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free

00:26:28.220 after just several years in prison.

00:26:31.000 Now, right now, we don't know what the response from the White House

00:26:33.860 will look like in practice.

00:26:36.260 We know that even acknowledging this is happening

00:26:38.560 is way more than we ever could have expected from Biden

00:26:40.840 or any other presidential administration.

00:26:45.060 But what will they do next?

00:26:46.980 Will they bring federal charges or investigate the parole board

00:26:50.040 or something else?

00:26:50.900 We don't know.

00:26:52.360 But for the sake of our justice system,

00:26:54.980 they need to come up with something

00:26:58.260 before more children are executed like Logan Tipton was.

00:27:03.640 If it's not obvious by now,

00:27:05.980 you should know that you are not insulated from this madness.

00:27:11.420 Whoever you are listening to me talk right now,

00:27:14.040 it could be you next.

00:27:15.620 It could be your child.

00:27:16.440 Logan Tipton's family thought they lived in a safe community.

00:27:23.080 And they probably did.

00:27:26.140 But one night, Ronald Exantis happened to be driving through it.

00:27:30.420 And he happened to pick their house.

00:27:33.680 It happened to be them.

00:27:36.280 It could be you.

00:27:38.640 It could be your child.

00:27:41.660 I don't say that to scare you.

00:27:43.780 I say it because it's true.

00:27:46.440 And when law and order is extinguished,

00:27:49.160 when justice is dead in a country as it is in ours,

00:27:52.900 the impact can and will be felt by everyone.

00:27:57.540 And I say that so that you'll be vigilant and aware.

00:28:01.820 And so that you'll understand that there is no issue more important right now

00:28:05.420 than bringing law and order back to America.

00:28:08.420 This should be at the top of everyone's priority list.

00:28:13.360 Your family's safety and our country's existence depends on it.

00:28:19.040 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:28:20.340 You guys ever read protein bar labels and feel like you're reading off a candy bar?

00:28:59.520 You know, I've tried a lot of protein bars on the market, like many of you have,

00:29:01.920 and none of them taste like real food.

00:29:04.200 They taste artificial.

00:29:05.300 They taste strange.

00:29:06.720 They taste way too sweet.

00:29:08.480 But Prime Bar actually tastes like real food, and it's good.

00:29:12.320 Try it out.

00:30:56.220 All right, Fox News reports a federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's efforts to deploy National Guard troops into Portland in a late-night decision on Sunday.

00:31:03.660 U.S. District Judge Karen Immergut ruled the action was unlawful and unconstitutional,

00:31:09.020 issuing an emergency temporary restraining order to halt the deployment of California's National Guard.

00:31:13.540 The order also bars the use of troops from any other state or Washington in the state of Oregon.

00:31:24.560 So this judge, this random judge, this random woman in a robe has decided that actually she's the commander-in-chief.

00:31:35.280 Trump thought he was the commander-in-chief.

00:31:36.860 That was his mistake.

00:31:37.580 You know, he thought he was the one elected to be the one who decides how and if and when and where troops are deployed.

00:31:45.320 But no, turns out it was this chick, Judge Karen. 1.00

00:31:51.300 She's in charge.

00:31:53.240 Judge Karen waltzed into the White House, barged into the Oval Office, 1.00

00:31:57.660 propped her feet up on the Resolute desk and said, hey, I'm in charge around here.

00:32:03.040 That's basically what happened.

00:32:04.220 And now Trump has to decide how to respond.

00:32:08.860 And he has basically two options.

00:32:12.180 I mean, not basically.

00:32:13.680 He has only two options.

00:32:15.140 He can bow down before Judge Karen, who is now the president and the queen of America.

00:32:23.040 She's appointed herself as such.

00:32:26.020 And he can say, yes, ma'am.

00:32:28.060 Yes, Madam President.

00:32:29.500 Whatever you say, my queen.

00:32:30.800 Can I get you a Diet Coke, perhaps?

00:32:35.120 What else do you require, my lady?

00:32:40.040 He can do that or he can reassert his authority.

00:32:43.360 He can say, hey, get the hell out of here. 0.99

00:32:44.920 Who the hell are you? 1.00

00:32:45.560 Get out of here. 1.00

00:32:46.060 I'm the president, not you.

00:32:48.560 I don't care what you think.

00:32:51.320 Those are the options.

00:32:52.840 Subservience or the reassertion of his own power.

00:32:55.100 Those are the only options.

00:32:56.200 We have long reached the point.

00:32:57.720 I mean, long reached it.

00:32:58.820 Long reached it.

00:33:01.960 Where Trump has no good choice.

00:33:06.540 Like I said, those are the two.

00:33:09.300 And he has no good choice but to openly defy these activist judges.

00:33:14.740 There's no third way now, right?

00:33:16.760 And by that, I don't mean issuing posts on Truth Social.

00:33:21.980 I don't mean, I don't even mean challenging this in a court.

00:33:28.380 I mean, flipping her the bird and ignoring her.

00:33:31.400 Just doing it anyway.

00:33:34.000 Saying, oh, you don't think I should deploy the troops into, oh, okay, well, I just did. 0.99

00:33:38.140 What now?

00:33:39.460 Oh, you don't think I should?

00:33:40.420 Well, I did.

00:33:41.580 It's happening.

00:33:42.640 It's happening, lady.

00:33:43.600 What are you going to do about it?

00:33:44.760 Huh?

00:33:45.500 What are you going to do about it?

00:33:50.940 That's the only way now.

00:33:52.480 That's the only way to deal with this judicial tyranny. 0.95

00:33:54.580 You cannot stop the tyranny of the courts in the courts.

00:33:59.400 That's the problem.

00:34:01.000 You can't go to the courts and say, hey, I want you, the courts, to admit that you don't have this power.

00:34:08.140 They're not going to.

00:34:09.400 That's the whole point.

00:34:10.120 Well, what do you do when you have an out-of-control judiciary that has appointed itself, you know, dictators?

00:34:20.620 That has decided that it has the ultimate authority, ultimate power over everything.

00:34:25.940 What do you do when you have a judiciary that says, you know what, actually, I'm the executive and the legislator.

00:34:29.700 I get to make laws.

00:34:30.920 I get to do it.

00:34:31.480 I get to command over the military.

00:34:34.500 What do you do?

00:34:36.040 You can't go to the courts and say, I'm going to fight court.

00:34:39.540 I'm going to fight you in court.

00:34:42.960 No.

00:34:44.800 You got to fight them.

00:34:46.120 You can't bring them to heel while staying in their playing field and playing by their rules.

00:34:51.100 I mean, if you're playing a rigged game and the other side is cheating, you're not going to be able to beat them in the game, especially if they own everything.

00:34:58.020 If they own the league and the stadium and they decide, like, you literally can't beat them.

00:35:06.280 They own the game.

00:35:07.160 They rigged it.

00:35:07.700 So you have to step outside the game.

00:35:09.640 And all that means here is that Trump has every constitutional right to deploy the National Guard to Portland.

00:35:16.460 Not only the right, but the responsibility, I would say.

00:35:19.840 Portland is a war zone.

00:35:21.080 It's total chaos.

00:35:21.980 It's in a state of open insurrection.

00:35:23.240 ICE agents are being attacked.

00:35:24.420 Portland is trying to subvert the authority of the federal government, defy the laws of the land.

00:35:30.460 Obviously, an occasion for the National Guard.

00:35:32.340 Judge Karen disagrees.

00:35:33.700 Well, her random opinion doesn't matter.

00:35:36.360 Like, why should that bring everything to a halt?

00:35:39.420 Oh, sorry, guys.

00:35:39.920 We can't do this.

00:35:40.560 Why is that?

00:35:40.980 Oh, because Karen said so.

00:35:43.020 Who's Karen? 0.91

00:35:44.920 Who is she and who elected her to be in charge of this? 1.00

00:35:48.840 Who elected her to be commander in chief?

00:35:50.700 Oh, nobody?

00:35:51.740 Well, okay.

00:35:54.520 So Trump has the authority.

00:35:57.860 He knows he does.

00:35:58.800 Everyone knows he has the authority.

00:36:00.800 This district judge feels differently.

00:36:03.320 And who cares?

00:36:08.260 This is where we are.

00:36:09.280 I mean, again, I'd prefer if we weren't here.

00:36:11.380 Like, I'd much prefer a scenario where the judiciary is not out of control and tyrannical and trying to seize, you know, trying to appoint itself dictators over the country.

00:36:23.300 Trying to pretend that, you know, they're the ultimate authority on everything the president wants to do.

00:36:30.260 I'd much rather we didn't have that.

00:36:32.180 And that we didn't have to have this kind of showdown.

00:36:33.980 But we do.

00:36:38.800 This is where we are.

00:36:39.800 As we discussed last week, moving on here, something called Bad Bunny, the Hispanic guy who likes to prance around in dresses, he was named the Super Bowl halftime performer this year.

00:36:55.480 And that was a controversial decision among football fans because Bad Bunny is also an anti-American, far leftist, radical.

00:37:05.900 He's been boycotting America because of ice, even though he's going to show back up to the Super Bowl, you know, because those are this is a man of principle here.

00:37:13.460 But he's going to boycott until they offer him a million dollars to the Super Bowl and then he'll he'll show up.

00:37:20.380 But, you know, the main thing is he's not American.

00:37:23.140 He barely speaks English.

00:37:25.900 Football is is the classic American pastime, even more than baseball now.

00:37:32.960 And so is it so much to ask that you give an American halftime show that you can understand that's that is performed in English for people like is that so much to ask?

00:37:42.200 Well, apparently it is now Bad Bunny has addressed these concerns from the fans and he's addressed them during his opening monologue when he hosted SNL on Saturday.

00:37:52.560 And here's how he chose to address it.

00:37:55.060 Listen, I'm very excited to be doing the Super Bowl.

00:37:58.160 And I know the people all around the world who love my music are also happy, especialmente todos los latinos.

00:38:09.220 Todos los latinos y las latinas en el mundo entero.

00:38:13.280 Y aquí en los Estados Unidos, todas las personas que han trabajado para abrir puertas.

00:38:18.020 Más que un logro mío.

00:38:19.240 Más que un logro mío, es un logro de todo, demostrando que nuestra huella y nuestra aportación en este país nadie nunca la podrá sacar ni borrar.

00:38:31.980 And if you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.

00:38:46.980 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:38:50.420 Doya Cat is here.

00:38:52.520 So Steve Aro will be right back.

00:38:55.780 Okay, so that's his answer.

00:38:57.980 He's going to be doing the halftime show in Spanish.

00:39:00.100 And if you don't understand Spanish, you have four months to learn it.

00:39:03.600 That's his answer.

00:39:04.260 Now, of course, learning Spanish so that I can listen to a Bad Bunny performance is about the least compelling incentive I can possibly imagine.

00:39:14.640 Okay, it's like if I jog 10 miles to go to the dentist for a root canal.

00:39:19.640 So I have this hard, miserable thing I have to do.

00:39:22.160 And the reward is something even more miserable than the thing I was doing to get there.

00:39:28.620 And just to underscore the point, not that I need to, I'll play a clip of one of Bad Bunny's biggest hits.

00:39:34.820 And this is called, what is this called?

00:39:38.520 Titi Mi Pregunto.

00:39:41.100 I think Pregunto is pregnant. 0.97

00:39:43.500 I took Spanish.

00:39:44.560 I was forced to take Spanish in public school.

00:39:46.160 I think I took it for like four years and I could not speak a word.

00:39:49.380 That's public school education for you. 0.99

00:39:52.160 And that's also me for you because I'm a moron. 0.98

00:39:55.060 But I think Pregunto is Spanish. 0.83

00:39:56.340 Anyway, so this has almost a billion views on YouTube.

00:39:59.740 It was a big hit.

00:40:00.960 Maybe he'll perform at the Super Bowl.

00:40:03.300 And here's a clip in Spanish because that's how, you know, that's the language that it's performed in.

00:40:09.580 Listen.

00:40:09.940 I like Gabriela, Patricia, Nicole, Sofía.

00:40:15.420 Mi primera novia en Kindle, María.

00:40:17.520 Y mi primer amor se llama Batalía.

00:40:19.500 Tengo una Colombiana que me escribe todos los días.

00:40:21.900 Y una Mexicana que ni yo sabía.

00:40:24.100 Otra en San Antonio que me quiere todavía.

00:40:26.260 Y las de PR que todavía son mías. 0.98

00:40:28.320 Una Dominicana que jugo a bombón.

00:40:31.120 Uva, uva bombón.

00:40:32.640 Okay, so you listen to that.

00:40:35.540 The one, I mean, it is amazing how every Spanish pop song sounds exactly the same.

00:40:44.320 I know this is kind of the knock on pop music in general.

00:40:47.100 But with the Spanish, it's even more so the case. 1.00

00:40:52.220 I mean, it's the exact beat, cadence, everything for every song.

00:40:57.940 It's just the same thing over and over again.

00:41:00.840 That's one thing I will say, and I mean no offense here, but I truly don't.

00:41:05.320 You know that.

00:41:06.340 I never want to offend anybody.

00:41:08.380 It's very important to me. 0.99

00:41:09.520 But Hispanics do have the worst music. 1.00

00:41:11.400 That's of all, I mean, I got to say, like of all the ethnicities, it is the worst music. 1.00

00:41:15.520 They truly do. 0.97

00:41:16.300 Their traditional music, mariachi, is hell.

00:41:19.200 I mean, being trapped in a room with a mariachi band is, that's hell.

00:41:23.060 I mean, that's probably, that is the music that they pump over the speakers in hell.

00:41:27.740 That's how bad it is. 1.00

00:41:28.980 And then their newer music is this crap. 0.99

00:41:31.380 It's like, it all sounds exactly the same. 0.99

00:41:33.200 No variation, no variety, no subtlety.

00:41:36.420 It's just not art.

00:41:37.480 It's really bad.

00:41:38.220 But anyway, so this is why you need to learn Spanish so you can understand those lyrics

00:41:42.380 is what Bad Bunny is saying.

00:41:43.800 It's important.

00:41:45.300 You need to know what he's saying.

00:41:46.360 You know, and you listen to that, and in fairness, like I said, I don't really speak Spanish.

00:41:53.360 I don't, I don't, I don't speak it at all.

00:41:55.720 I know two or three words.

00:41:58.360 So what is he saying?

00:42:00.660 He might be unveiling the secrets of the universe.

00:42:02.600 He might be explaining the cure for cancer.

00:42:05.000 You know, he might be imparting words of profound wisdom.

00:42:08.760 This could be beautiful poetry for all we know.

00:42:11.840 These could be lyrics of staggering depth and beauty.

00:42:14.680 I mean, he could at least be giving us a great recipe for chimichangos or something.

00:42:21.620 I mean, who knows?

00:42:22.080 There could be something really worthwhile there.

00:42:24.020 So let's go to the, and this is why I get, so I said, you got to learn, you got, you got

00:42:27.100 to learn Spanish so when he performs it, you'll understand the lyrics.

00:42:30.460 Well, let's go to the English translation of those lyrics and I'll read them to you just

00:42:34.280 so you know, just so you know what you're missing.

00:42:36.880 And then you can decide whether learning Spanish for the halftime performance is worth your

00:42:40.040 time or not.

00:42:40.440 This is what he said.

00:42:43.700 I really liked the Gabriellas, the Patricias, the Nicoles, the Sofias, my first girlfriend

00:42:47.680 in kindergarten, Maria, and my first love's name was Talia.

00:42:51.260 I've got a Colombian who writes me every day and a Mexican I didn't even know about.

00:42:56.740 Wait, how does he have a girlfriend he doesn't know about?

00:42:59.460 Another one in San Antonio that still loves me and the ones from PR that are all mine,

00:43:03.920 the Dominican who's a fresh hottie. 0.54

00:43:06.800 Fresh, fresh hottie.

00:43:07.820 So there you go.

00:43:10.900 Learn Spanish so you can understand those lyrics and others like them.

00:43:14.840 Learn Spanish so that you can absorb all of that brain rot because that's what it is, 1.00

00:43:20.080 of course. 1.00

00:43:21.600 And you listen to that music and it really does make you dumber. 0.99

00:43:23.980 And I truly, I truly believe, when I say it, I don't say it as a, for effect. 0.99

00:43:30.060 Like I actually think that it causes brain damage.

00:43:32.180 I think that a lot of this stuff, if you, like a steady diet of that, I think, I don't

00:43:37.940 know if any studies have been done on this.

00:43:40.080 I'd be interested to see them.

00:43:41.560 You take someone, have them listen to this kind of music for six months, for multiple

00:43:48.740 hours a day.

00:43:49.460 So you do the IQ test before, and then come back and do the IQ test again.

00:43:54.240 I truly believe that it's probably five, 10 points you've lost.

00:43:58.440 Actual brain damage.

00:44:01.220 But more to the point, Bad Bunny's attitude is, you know, it, I hesitate to say that it's

00:44:11.660 outrageous and infuriating because I know that that's what he's going for.

00:44:15.040 Uh, he wants to piss off people like me, not me specifically, but just, you know, normal

00:44:20.800 Americans who expect that our greatest national pastime will have a halftime show in our language.

00:44:27.220 And his goal is to tick us off.

00:44:29.640 And I get that, but, uh, but he succeeds, I guess I have to admit, I have to admit it

00:44:36.680 makes me angry.

00:44:37.280 It does because I'm really tired of this attitude.

00:44:39.940 You know, if it was just this one guy saying this, it'd be one thing, but he has the same

00:44:49.220 attitude that millions of, of immigrants have when they come to this country. 0.52

00:44:54.940 And the attitude is, you know what?

00:44:56.520 I'm not going to speak your language. 1.00

00:44:57.840 You bet.

00:44:58.300 If you, if you want to understand me, you got to learn my language.

00:45:03.300 That's the attitude millions of people have.

00:45:04.760 And I'm, and I'm really tired of it.

00:45:06.200 I think we're all tired of it.

00:45:07.240 We speak English here.

00:45:10.660 That's our language.

00:45:12.980 This is our country and English is our language.

00:45:19.880 And that should have always been our attitude.

00:45:24.260 But of course we live in a country where it's to, to even say that English is our official

00:45:30.720 language and should be declared as such.

00:45:32.600 That is a controversial opinion.

00:45:34.920 That is a political, this basic, what are the most basic requirements?

00:45:41.540 I mean, we're talking below one-on-one level, right?

00:45:44.420 I mean, one of the most basic requirements of having a functioning society is that everyone

00:45:50.240 can understand each other, being able to communicate and speak the same language, basic requirement.

00:45:56.760 That's, you can't even get off the ground floor of building a functioning society unless

00:46:02.720 you have that.

00:46:03.560 And yet, and so this basic requirement of a functioning society is controversial.

00:46:12.560 We can't even get everyone to agree in this country that, yeah, you know, we should all

00:46:16.580 be able to understand each other at least.

00:46:21.320 Can't even get people to agree.

00:46:23.660 All right.

00:46:24.260 Um, we've got another entertainment story.

00:46:28.820 I don't know why we have two, but so Taylor Swift dropped her new album.

00:46:33.440 Uh, it sold a trillion copies, of course, but I, and I haven't listened to it.

00:46:38.880 I haven't listened to a single second, second of it.

00:46:40.780 I'm not, I'm not going to, I don't really care.

00:46:42.040 But I did notice the, uh, the reaction, just some of the reviews seems to be, it's, it's

00:46:49.640 like a pretty lukewarm reaction.

00:46:51.120 And I read through, you know, some of the reviews and it's, and so that's kind of the headline

00:46:56.260 apparently of this, of this album is that it's a, it's a, you know, lukewarm critical

00:47:01.660 reception.

00:47:02.140 And even a lot of the fans, I've even heard from some of the fans are like, yeah, you

00:47:07.520 know, didn't love it.

00:47:10.220 And still, it, like I said, she sold a billion trillion infinity albums and I, why people

00:47:16.200 still buy, which I, I think I read she sold like 2.7 million, I think albums in the first

00:47:21.120 day, if I got that correct.

00:47:24.840 Which is shocking also because who's still buying albums at this, at this, at this stage?

00:47:29.640 I don't know, but in any case, big commercial success, um, seemingly lukewarm reception at

00:47:37.460 the same time.

00:47:38.660 And there are two things about, I was thinking about, there are two things about that that

00:47:41.080 are kind of interesting or at least worth remarking on, or maybe not, probably not worth

00:47:45.340 remarking, but I'm going to anyway.

00:47:47.440 So first of all, you got a huge commercial success, lukewarm reaction, seems like a kind

00:47:52.740 of a contradictory thing.

00:47:53.780 And yet it kind of defines modern pop culture, the music, the big hit movies.

00:47:59.000 A lot of the shows people watch, there are still hits like movies that make a billion

00:48:05.040 dollars.

00:48:05.560 You got songs that are streamed a billion times.

00:48:07.540 You have shows that millions of people watch.

00:48:09.520 So pop culture is still producing a lot of hits and yet it isn't producing passion.

00:48:14.840 Nobody is really excited about any of this stuff.

00:48:17.320 And because I was thinking about this the other day, I read an article about the next, uh,

00:48:21.400 avatar film.

00:48:22.640 So James Cameron is working on avatar.

00:48:25.340 What are they on?

00:48:25.680 Number three.

00:48:26.240 Now, I think avatar three, and he's also doing five, he's doing four and five, too.

00:48:31.360 So he's going to make five.

00:48:32.140 He just keeps making these avatar movies.

00:48:34.700 And, and, uh, in many ways, avatar, the movie is a perfect, uh, well avatar for what I'm talking

00:48:44.220 about, because the movies make insane amounts of money.

00:48:48.020 They are, they are really successful so you can see why he keeps making them and yet nobody

00:48:55.520 loves them.

00:48:56.440 Nobody cares about them.

00:48:58.540 You never hear anyone quoting them or talking about scenes.

00:49:01.880 They love from the avatar.

00:49:04.560 Have you ever heard that?

00:49:05.360 Have you, have you ever heard anyone say like, remember a scene or a quote, say a quote from

00:49:12.440 the movie or talk about an iconic character from these movies?

00:49:16.940 No one ever does.

00:49:18.880 Nobody loves the movies.

00:49:20.560 Nobody considers them a favorite.

00:49:23.080 Nobody really cares about the movies.

00:49:24.600 And yet they make a billion dollars.

00:49:25.940 Every single one, he drops it and makes a billion dollars.

00:49:28.080 They're huge blockbusters.

00:49:29.240 And this is the dynamic, big hits that somehow nobody cares about.

00:49:33.200 There's no passion.

00:49:35.080 And, uh, now you have this Taylor Swift album and the reaction seems to be kind of, you know,

00:49:38.700 eh.

00:49:39.720 And it's breaking sales records.

00:49:41.160 Um, this is pop culture in a state of decadence.

00:49:45.700 This is what a decadent pop culture produces.

00:49:47.680 Kind of lazy blockbusters.

00:49:49.500 Blockbusters that elicit both a giant yawn and also a billion dollars.

00:49:54.860 Everyone just kind of lining up and going, yeah, fine.

00:49:57.300 I'll consume it.

00:49:57.980 That's the, that's basically the attitude of the, of the American consumer app, especially

00:50:02.700 when it comes to entertainment and people just line up and they say, yeah, okay, fine.

00:50:05.660 All right.

00:50:06.040 Yeah.

00:50:06.340 Yeah.

00:50:06.620 All right.

00:50:06.980 Here's my money.

00:50:08.520 And you have a line that stretches to the horizon of millions of people lining up, you

00:50:13.560 know, to give their money, but no one is excited about it.

00:50:16.240 Um, and, uh, I, I just find that, I just find that kind of interesting and Taylor Swift reveals

00:50:24.500 the problem or a big part of it.

00:50:26.680 And because with Taylor Swift, you see the other element, the other aspect of this, uh,

00:50:30.280 of this issue.

00:50:31.460 And a few of the reviews have mentioned it, that, that she doesn't grow, you know, there's

00:50:35.220 no growth.

00:50:36.000 There's no change.

00:50:37.660 Her songs and lyrics haven't grown since she was like 17.

00:50:41.960 And this is my biggest gripe about pop culture and modern music in particular.

00:50:45.400 Um, or pop music, a lot of it, not, not modern music.

00:50:51.180 Generally actually, I actually like a lot of modern music.

00:50:53.460 If I were to give you, and this probably would surprise a lot of people, but if I were to

00:50:58.920 give you my top seven or eight favorite albums of all time, not, not, not the greatest, but

00:51:04.840 just my favorites, they would all be from the last 10 or 15 years or, or, you know, maybe

00:51:09.300 10 to 20 years, most of them.

00:51:11.620 Cause I'm not one of these guys who says, Oh, you know, they stopped making real music in

00:51:14.800 the seventies.

00:51:16.100 I actually don't like seventies music.

00:51:17.820 I don't, I don't like any music that was made before the nineties, to be honest with

00:51:20.620 you.

00:51:20.920 A lot of it's great.

00:51:21.940 I just don't, it's just not my taste.

00:51:23.100 I don't listen to it.

00:51:25.700 So, um, if I were to bore you by giving me my top seven or eight albums, but I'm not

00:51:31.560 going to.

00:51:32.720 So, but I'm talking about pop music to include rap music.

00:51:35.180 And the problem with so much of it is that it just doesn't grow.

00:51:37.380 There's no growth.

00:51:39.060 And, um, that's one of the reasons why these, these pop stars and rap stars often have a

00:51:45.420 short shelf life.

00:51:46.340 Now Taylor Swift doesn't cause you're still selling all these copies, but, uh, you know,

00:51:50.420 it's one, but often it works that way because their music makes sense for a 19 year old, but

00:51:56.740 not when you're 29 or 39.

00:51:59.720 And they don't know how to speak to the experiences of anyone older than like 23.

00:52:03.360 And you see the same, again, this is what franchise films.

00:52:07.320 This is what, this is why the comic book movie genre is dying is because there's no growth.

00:52:13.060 So you start, they started making these movies really for my generation.

00:52:18.240 When I was like 12, they started churning these movies out and then you look and it's 20 years

00:52:23.980 later and the movies are exactly the same.

00:52:25.940 They haven't.

00:52:26.800 So people are, are growing and you expect the genre to kind of grow with the audience.

00:52:31.760 And it just doesn't, it just stays exactly the same.

00:53:50.560 We told you when the left attacks, we'd only get louder.

00:53:54.020 And on Thursday, October 16th, we're turning the volume all the way up.

00:53:58.760 Here's your first look at The Daily Wire's new live show, Friendly Fire.

00:54:06.460 October 16th.

00:54:07.860 We celebrate the 10-year anniversary of The Daily Wire.

00:54:11.840 10 years of leftist tears.

00:54:14.220 New shows, big moves, bigger targets.

00:54:17.600 And first up is our newest show, Friendly Fire.

00:54:20.280 Usually I kind of like tune it out and then I come back in like most of the time.

00:54:23.300 No safe words.

00:54:24.500 No moderator. 0.95

00:54:25.500 Not to be obscene, but those are underwhelming breasts. 0.76

00:54:27.980 By the way, that is the best evidence that he did not draw it.

00:54:29.900 Because you know that he would have gone double D if he had drawn in. 0.75

00:54:32.060 We're celebrating our first decade and kicking off the next 10 years by doing what we do best.

00:54:36.620 Roll it back.

00:54:37.440 Picking arguments, starting fights, and filming the whole thing.

00:54:40.520 And I find that horribly offensive.

00:54:42.040 You almost ruined my marriage.

00:54:43.260 We're always kind of looking forward to what's the next big thing.

00:54:45.180 In this segment, no one is disagreeing, but I actually find the whole conversation very disagreeable and unpleasant.

00:54:50.280 October 16th on Daily Wire.

00:54:56.000 Welcome to week 7 of the Pendragon Cycle.

00:54:59.060 Pendragon Cycle is the show.

00:55:01.180 The Pendragon Cycle.

00:55:01.940 The Pendragon Cycle.

00:55:02.180 Mark your calendars.

00:55:15.860 Friendly Fire premieres October 16th at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively on Daily Wire+.

00:55:27.960 Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:55:36.080 Well, we began the show by talking about the decision by a Democrat-appointed parole board to release a homicidal maniac who murdered a six-year-old boy by stabbing him in the head.

00:55:45.220 Kind of decision that in the not-too-distant past you would expect to elicit immediate condemnation from both parties.

00:55:51.940 That's because, for all of our differences, both Democrats and Republicans understood that it's a great and unfathomable moral evil to butcher a child as he sleeps.

00:56:00.540 We agreed that demons who brutally murder kids should never be a part of civilization ever again.

00:56:06.680 Which is about the lowest bar imaginable, but all, you know, at the same time, for most of our country's history, that bar has held.

00:56:13.780 Well, it doesn't hold anymore.

00:56:16.640 We are past the point where Democrats can claim that only a small minority of their party affirmatively support the murder, you know, murder and lawlessness.

00:56:26.400 Less than a month after thousands of Democrats openly celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

00:56:31.720 the Democrat Party establishment has decided as a matter of policy that it is not necessarily opposed to the murder of innocent men, women, and children.

00:56:40.500 Especially, of course, if they are on the other side of the political aisle.

00:56:45.700 Indeed, they aren't simply refusing to condemn the early release of a child killer after he spent less than a decade in prison.

00:56:51.680 They're also explaining in writing that they want to see the children of conservatives die in their mother's arms.

00:56:58.720 They want to see conservative Supreme Court justices hunted down and shot for their rulings on abortion.

00:57:03.500 And the Democrat Party, from the base all the way up to the party leaders, is unanimously standing by in support of all of this.

00:57:13.560 Now, the case of Virginia Attorney General nominee Jay Jones, all by itself, should be the death knell of the entire Democrat Party.

00:57:19.480 This case, all by itself, would tell you the Democrat Party needs to be, in a metaphorical sense, burned to the ground.

00:57:28.100 In case you missed it, the National Review published text messages from Jay Jones to a Republican state legislator.

00:57:35.520 They were sent around 8 a.m. on August 8, 2022.

00:57:40.320 And Jones was upset that Republicans, including Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert,

00:57:45.900 had put out statements mourning the recent death of a different state legislator who was a moderate Democrat.

00:57:51.520 So, here's what Jones wrote in the text to Republican House Delegate Kerry Coyner.

00:57:58.100 Quote,

00:57:58.920 If those guys die before me, Jones wrote, referencing his Republican colleagues, 0.99

00:58:03.740 I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves, to send them out awash in something. 0.99

00:58:10.980 Jones then said that if he had only two bullets and had the opportunity to shoot Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, 0.99

00:58:16.900 Hitler, or the Republican Speaker of the House, he'd choose the Republican Speaker of the House every time. 0.93

00:58:23.400 Quote,

00:58:24.320 Even as a Republican legislator tells Jones to stop sending messages like this,

00:58:41.020 because, again, Jones was sending this in writing, in text message to a Republican.

00:58:47.900 That's how brazen this is, and how sure he was that he would never be held accountable for it.

00:58:52.660 And even as the person that seats talking to tells him to stop and, you know, that says how upsetting all this is, he continues.

00:59:01.580 According to the National Review, Jones, quote,

00:59:03.480 Suggested he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views,

00:59:09.760 prompting Coyner to hang up the phone in disgust.

00:59:12.620 Then Coyner sent his text to Jones, quote,

00:59:16.700 You were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's children would die.

00:59:20.480 And then Jones responds,

00:59:22.100 Yes, I've told you this before.

00:59:23.620 Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.

00:59:27.620 I mean, do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil? 0.56

00:59:30.120 And that they're breeding little fascists? 0.96

00:59:32.500 Yes.

00:59:32.920 Now, to be very clear about this, the man who sent those text messages has been selected by the Democrat Party to be the chief law enforcement official in the state of Virginia.

00:59:44.580 He sent these messages, again, to a Republican colleague.

00:59:48.680 And even when he was told to stop, he persisted. 0.98

00:59:51.040 He clarified as explicitly as he possibly could that it's acceptable to wish death on Republicans on the theory that they're all fascists, including the children are fascists. 0.95

01:00:01.240 And as Jones put it, quote, 0.54

01:00:02.480 Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.

01:00:07.140 That is now the official platform of the Democrat Party.

01:00:10.240 This is what they believe. 1.00

01:00:12.020 If you don't agree with them, you and your entire family deserve to die. 1.00

01:00:17.060 That's what the mainstream of the party believes. 0.98

01:00:20.120 And you know that because after these text messages surfaced, no Democrats have called for Jay Jones to resign.

01:00:27.680 Not a single one.

01:00:28.460 Not one single Democrat has agreed that this is disqualified.

01:00:34.620 Most of them haven't even criticized them for it.

01:00:36.740 Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat nominee for governor in Virginia, has a stood by Jones.

01:00:42.860 The current Speaker of the House just spoke in a church pulpit.

01:00:45.660 And all he had to say about the text is that, well, they're a distraction.

01:00:51.700 Watch.

01:00:52.740 So we need to understand something.

01:00:55.220 We have to be mature in our thinking and how we vote.

01:00:58.260 We can't get distracted because they want us to get distracted by the text message here or something else.

01:01:03.260 Stay focused.

01:01:04.060 Now, meanwhile, here's a statement from the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee, which plays a major role in electing Democrats in the state.

01:01:10.700 Quote, the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee reaffirms its full support of Jay Jones for attorney general.

01:01:17.700 Recent press may have spotlighted past mistakes.

01:01:20.980 We say, let those without sin cast the first stone.

01:01:26.620 Yes. 0.69

01:01:27.140 Who among us haven't repeatedly called for the execution of the children of our political opponents? 0.84

01:01:32.840 Who among us doesn't fantasize about murdering children is what they're asking.

01:01:39.220 Now, hopefully you're starting to see how how that that case in Kentucky was not an accident.

01:01:45.760 This is what Democrats believe.

01:01:47.420 They don't care if children die. 0.98

01:01:48.660 They want they want children to die.

01:01:50.920 What matters to them is power.

01:01:53.100 And if it helps them in their power grab, then they're in favor of it.

01:01:58.060 For his part, Jay Jones put out a similar non-apology.

01:02:00.980 You can see it on the screen there.

01:02:02.540 He says, like all people, I've sent text messages I regret.

01:02:07.560 Again, cutting in here.

01:02:08.840 No, not all people send text messages like this.

01:02:13.260 This is coming from the left.

01:02:15.640 And only the left.

01:02:18.220 And these were not texts that he sent like decades ago when he was a wayward teenager.

01:02:22.620 He sent them a couple of years ago when he was an adult man in his 30s.

01:02:27.920 Jones also sat down for an interview in which he again refused to take any responsibility.

01:02:31.240 Listen.

01:02:33.020 A lot of politics is about trust.

01:02:35.560 I can think of nothing more horrific than a mother having to hold her dying child.

01:02:41.180 How can Virginians trust a man who said something so horrific so callously?

01:02:46.760 Well, again, I am so deeply, deeply sorry for what I said.

01:02:50.640 And I wish that it hadn't happened.

01:02:51.920 And I would take it back if I could. 0.89

01:02:54.480 This is how sociopaths and malignant narcissists speak.

01:02:58.600 They don't acknowledge that they did something wrong.

01:03:01.020 Instead, they claim that they are actually a victim.

01:03:04.400 Something happened to him, he says.

01:03:06.960 He regrets that something occurred.

01:03:10.640 Not that he was solely responsible for that thing occurring.

01:03:14.240 And the reason he's getting away with this is that the entire Democrat establishment is behind him.

01:03:18.840 And that includes the press.

01:03:20.800 Here's the Washington Post's take, for example.

01:03:22.500 And they stop short of calling on Jones to drop out.

01:03:25.740 Instead, they say, quote, Jones has a month to convince voters that his hateful rhetoric does not reflect how he'd behave if elected as attorney general.

01:03:33.420 So I guess the idea is that Jay Jones needs to, you know, pinky promise that he actually doesn't want to slaughter the children of Republicans, even though he put it in writing.

01:03:44.340 Addressed to a Republican colleague.

01:03:47.280 He's got a month to convince us.

01:03:49.000 Think about that for a second.

01:03:50.100 They're saying he has a month to convince us that he actually doesn't want the children of his opponents to die.

01:03:57.520 You know, you would think that if you're a month out from an election and that's your challenge is to convince voters that you don't want children to die.

01:04:10.080 You think that would be like, OK, you're you're finished.

01:04:13.120 Your campaign's dead in the water.

01:04:16.020 That's not the case here.

01:04:18.300 I mean, The Washington Post fully understands exactly what it's doing here.

01:04:21.540 Their entire audience, such as it is, agrees with Jay Jones.

01:04:25.420 So does the editorial staff.

01:04:27.520 They all agree.

01:04:29.080 And now their goal is to run interference for him so that uninformed voters don't see that until it's too late.

01:04:35.700 It's impossible to state just how united Democrats are when it comes to this objective.

01:04:39.560 They are now the party of murder and indiscriminate political violence.

01:04:42.420 That's what they are.

01:04:43.700 It's not just the media and the politicians and the rank and file MSNBC viewers who are on board.

01:04:49.760 The Biden judges have joined in as well.

01:04:52.080 They're going out of the way to give Democrat political assassins a free pass. 0.94

01:04:55.220 And that's why Biden judge Deborah Boardman just sentenced the man who traveled across the country to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

01:05:03.100 A crime that, according to the federal sentencing guideline, should have put him in prison for at least 30 years, sentenced him to eight years.

01:05:12.480 And with time served, the assassin, a man named Nicholas Roski, will be a free man in four years.

01:05:18.800 And what was the judge's reasoning?

01:05:21.560 Well, by her own admission, she gave Roski a lighter sentence because he says he's a woman.

01:05:28.680 Here's the Daily Wire's Luke Rosiak quote.

01:05:30.180 The sentencing took more than seven hours, with much of the time dedicated to discussing how Roski's transgender identity meant he should get a lighter sentence.

01:05:39.600 In a more than hour-long speech justifying the light sentence, Boardman said that Miss Roski came out to herself as transgender in 2020, but kept it secret.

01:05:48.800 Miss Roski's sister came out as gay two years prior, but Miss Roski saw that their parents struggled to reconcile her sexuality with their religious beliefs.

01:05:58.120 Miss Roski, I'm heartened that this terrible infraction has helped the Roski family accept their daughter for who she is.

01:06:05.420 This is a man they're talking about there, by the way.

01:06:08.380 He.

01:06:09.800 So yes, the Biden judge just called the attempted assassination of a conservative Supreme Court justice, in which the assassin was carrying a firearm knife and zip ties, called it an infraction.

01:06:22.460 The man who traveled across the country explicitly because he was upset with Kavanaugh's rulings on the Second Amendment and abortion,

01:06:28.120 and was going to kill him, kidnap him and kill him, well, he just made a little innocent mistake. 0.82

01:06:35.940 Actually, the judge says that she's hardened. 0.93

01:06:38.120 She's hardened that as a result of this attempted murder, that the assassin's family has come to accept this man and his transgender identity.

01:06:47.200 Now, to be clear, this is the quote-unquote woman in question.

01:06:50.320 We'll put them up on the screen.

01:06:51.140 Yeah, just look at that natural, effortless, feminine beauty. 0.56

01:06:57.100 Again, it's a farce.

01:06:58.500 I mean, it's a thinly veiled effort to excuse a Democrat political assassin.

01:07:04.240 And they're probably going to try the same strategy with Charlie's killer.

01:07:07.520 I wouldn't be surprised by that.

01:07:08.940 Oh, he says he's a woman now. 0.99

01:07:10.580 Who are we to judge the fact that he's a violent psychopath?

01:07:12.840 Now, as the sentencing hearing continued, the judge explicitly stated that she's going to let the assassin out of prison early because he might not be able to get cross-sex hormones in prison.

01:07:24.700 Quote, the judge continued, she'll be imprisoned in a male facility, even though she's a transgender prisoner pursuant to an executive order from the president. 1.00

01:07:32.140 Before the executive order, that wasn't the case.

01:07:33.800 Earlier in the hearing, Boardman lashed out at the prosecutors and President Donald Trump, saying,

01:07:39.380 Let's not hide the fact that President Trump issued an executive order saying transgender inmates would be assigned to prisons with their biological sex.

01:07:46.260 With the injunction in place, Ms. Roski could receive gender-affirming care. 1.00

01:07:50.340 But if that injunction goes away, she could be denied it.

01:07:52.960 So when I sentenced her, I take into account that she is a transgender woman.

01:07:57.160 Now, as you may have noticed, this is the kind of punishment that Democrat foot soldiers will receive.

01:08:06.360 If they identify as women, they get out early. 1.00

01:08:08.600 If they identify as mentally ill, they get out early. 0.96

01:08:10.800 If they have a 40 prior arrest, they get out early. 0.97

01:08:14.400 If they admit on camera that they should be put to death after slaughtering a child as he sleeps, they get out early.

01:08:21.320 And the media will immediately get to work in an attempt to sell the narrative.

01:08:25.360 Take a look at these articles. You can see them here.

01:08:28.220 These are from the New York Times, ABC, CNN, and AP.

01:08:31.280 Every single outlet refers to Nicholas Roski as a woman.

01:08:34.940 None of them use his legal name.

01:08:37.720 They've erased his past identity, his actual identity, as if it never existed.

01:08:43.620 None of these outlets were doing this as recently as two months ago.

01:08:47.660 The Daily Wire broke the story that in sentencing documents, the assassin's lawyers declared that he was really a woman,

01:08:52.260 in addition to being severely mentally ill and suicidal, coincidentally enough.

01:08:56.580 And in an instant, right on cue, every single corporate media outlet went along with this obvious fabrication.

01:09:03.900 If you're reading some of these articles, you'd have no idea about any of this.

01:09:09.000 Just to give you a sense of how quickly they rewrite history,

01:09:12.080 here's how New York Times covered this story when the man was arrested.

01:09:15.120 You see it here.

01:09:15.720 Man pleads guilty to trying to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh.

01:09:21.000 Nicholas J. Roski, 29, of California, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

01:09:26.000 So much for that.

01:09:27.920 Now this man is a woman, we're told,

01:09:30.980 and instead of life in prison, he'll be out in four years,

01:09:34.260 so he can hunt more conservatives on the order of top Democrats.

01:09:39.720 There's no reason for anyone to entertain the left's elaborate misdirection campaigns or euphemisms anymore.

01:09:45.020 It's time to say what we all know is true.

01:09:47.900 I mean, when we say the left wants us dead,

01:09:51.720 here it is.

01:09:52.820 This is the official position of the Democrat Party.

01:09:55.100 It's what the party stands for.

01:09:57.620 There is no atrocity, no matter how horrific,

01:10:00.520 that would be unacceptable to them.

01:10:02.720 That's why ICE officers are being shot at and run over.

01:10:05.360 It's why child killers are walking free,

01:10:07.060 and psychopaths are on the ballot for Attorney General.

01:10:09.780 And it's why, as we near a month after the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

01:10:14.440 it's now more urgent than ever to dismantle the vast terrorist networks within the Democrat Party

01:10:20.140 before any more innocent, conservative men, women, and children are slaughtered.

01:10:23.760 And I'll close with this cheerful thought.

01:10:28.880 Because we have to really think about this.

01:10:31.680 If Jay Jones becomes the Attorney General of Virginia,

01:10:34.980 if that happens, which it may well happen,

01:10:38.260 every conservative in the state

01:10:41.500 will know that the chief law enforcement officer 0.99

01:10:45.080 thinks that they deserve to be murdered along with their children. 0.99

01:10:49.720 And not only will they know that, 1.00

01:10:51.720 they will also know

01:10:52.840 that the Democrat voters in the state,

01:10:56.320 their countrymen,

01:10:57.580 their own neighbors,

01:10:58.960 their friends,
